UCLA police have arrested a student on suspicion of sexual assault.

Torian White has been a student at UCLA since fall 2011.

White was arrested early Sunday morning at an apartment complex on Glenrock Avenue near the UCLA campus, according to police. Police said they were called to the residence at about 3 a.m., in response to a disturbance.

White, an offensive lineman on the UCLA football team, has not played since injuring his right leg during a game at Utah on Oct. 3.

"We are aware of the situation involving Torian White, and we take these accusations very seriously," said UCLA football coach Jim Mora. "Torian has been suspended from the team indefinitely while the legal process and student discipline process run their course. Due to the ongoing police investigation, we are unable to discuss this matter further at this time."
